The Shoofly Oolite - named for nearby Shoofly Creek - is one of the largest ooid formations in the world, according to the BLM.

You can sit in the round craters hollowed out of heaped oolite domes or climb along rolling expanses of craggy rock.

The oolite rock structures can be found in scattered clusters along what’s called the Glenns Ferry Formation, so intrepid explorers can follow the edge of the plateau to see even more of the odd rocks.

At the trailhead, which is marked by a wooden barrier, the BLM has installed signs explaining the significance of the oolite.
