Next, target the class main-heading. Give the heading a font-size property and set the value to 72px.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header class="main-header"></header>
      <span>Journey through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <p>
      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.

    <a href="#">Find out more</a>
    <div>
      <h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2>
      <p>
        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.

Okay I see the problem. You have correctly added the class attributes on your HTML elements. However you have a closing header tag after the opening header tag just before the content of the header element. Delete that.

For your CSS, you should have your previous code from the previous step:

.main-header {
  background-color: orange;
}

Now you need to create a new rule that targets the second class you added (main-heading) and add the code to it, here's a starting point to what your code should look like:

.main-header {
  background-color: orange;
}

.main-heading {
  /*  Add the property and value that the challenge wants you to add here. */
}

Look at your selector, you are targetting an incorrect class name. The class you need to target is main-heading not main-header.
