Calla Balliett - President

Calla moved from the Metro Detroit area in Michigan 6 years ago in search of more outdoors. Making the great choice of Colorado Springs having great access to many trails, open spaces and national forests she felt compelled to help serve the outdoors community and keep our trails wild. Cheyenne Canon can make you feel a world away but only a minutes drive from heart of Colorado Springs. Calla’s favorite hike is Mt. Cutler as she feels it is so accessible to many different fitness levels and still offers the beauty of Cheyenne Canon. Calla loves to enjoy the outdoors in as many ways as possible as a runner, hiker, mountain and road biker and enjoying our many 4X4 trails in the state. There’s just too much beauty in Colorado to not enjoy in it as many ways as possible!

Allisa Linfield - Vice President

Allisa moved to Colorado in 2012 and to the Cheyenne Cañon neighborhood in 2018. She feels grateful to live in a community surrounded by such astounding beauty and is happy to be a steward of the canyon through her involvement with FOCC. Allisa is a trail runner and competes in mountainous trail running events. She also enjoys climbing, biking, and birding and Cheyenne Cañon is a great place for all of those activities. Allisa loves gardening and is able to volunteer as a Colorado Master Gardener. She also serves the animals and people in her community through volunteering at the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region.



Rob Lucey - Treasurer

Rob spent most of his childhood and journalism career in the flatlands of Texas before choosing to retire early in Colorado Springs with his artistic wife Jo in 2017. He’s still getting acclimated. One reason they picked the Springs is the astounding beauty of the parks, which Rob thinks exceeds that of many national parks he’s visited.

When not helping with trail work in the Cañon and other city parks, Rob can be found volunteering at the Horticultural Arts Society demonstration gardens in Monument Valley Park or toiling at the endless renovations to the circa 1901 home in the Ivywild neighborhood he inhabits with Jo and their cat. He also finds time for occasional travel, reading and songwriting.
