We present 838 ab-type RR Lyrae stars from the Lowell Observatory Near Earth Objects Survey Phase I (LONEOS-I). These objects cover 1430deg^2^ and span distances ranging from 3 to 30kpc from the Galactic center. Object selection is based on phased, photometric data with 28-50 epochs. We use this large sample to explore the bulk properties of the stellar halo, including the spatial distribution. The period-amplitude distribution of this sample shows that the majority of these RR Lyrae stars resemble Oosterhoff type I, but there is a significant fraction (26%) which have longer periods and appear to be Oosterhoff type II. We find that the radial distributions of these two populations have significantly different profiles ({rho}OoI~R^-2.26+/-0.07^ and {rho}OoII~R^-2.88+/-0.11^). This suggests that the stellar halo was formed by at least two distinct accretion processes and supports dual-halo models.
