While on descent into Eagle; I was cleared for the LDA 25 approach after the Kremmling VOR. While on the initial segment of the approach; I was informed that Denver Center was getting a low altitude alert on the aircraft. Upon review of the approach plate; I realized that the altitude on that initial segment was 13;800 feet prior to AQULA Intersection; not 12;900 feet. So; I corrected the altitude and the flight continued to Eagle uneventfully. I realized after the fact that I did not see the 13;800 feet when I first looked at the plate because of the terrain depictions behind it. Regardless; I will more carefully review the published altitudes on all segments of the approaches.
EMB500 pilot reports descending below the MEA after passing RLG on the LDA DME Runway 25 at EGE due to terrain depiction clutter on the chart. ZDV issues a low altitude alert and the altitude is corrected.
