If your photographs depicted snowcapped peaks and conifers, then not only would they be similar to the Bavarian Alps, but also to many other countries in the world. Colorado (104,185 sq. miles) is much larger compared to Bavaria (27,200 sq miles) and has numerous types of terrain from desert dunes, huge canyons and grass plains to the obvious mountains. The weather depending on where you are in Bavaria is not as hospitable as Colorado. The Bavarian Alps is similar in weather to the Austrian Tyrol - very cold in the winter and up to 6 hours max of sun per day in the summer, but there can be a lot of rain.

Culturally there are huge differences beyond the scope of your question.

When i think of Colorado, i think of the Grand Canyon of course, and of Red Sandstone and wide open plains. None of that can be found in Bavaria or in fact anywhere in Germany. Unless Colorado has to offer some scenery very different from what is usually portrayed, i see no way to confuse the two.

Then again... a fir tree forest on a gently sloping hillside probably looks the same everywhere in the world, and germany certainly has a lot of those.

There may be some physical characteristics which are the same but the culture is totally different.

No. The hats are very different.
