      Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

        As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

You're doing fine!

You gave the h1 the correct class but you also gave the header a class as well, albeit with a typo (you used - instead of = ) and it missed a " .

The header doesn't need a class so you can remove that part and keep the <h1 class = "main-heading">.

Good luck man. Keep at it!
