style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

@media (max-width: 1020px;)
.main-header {
background-color:tomato; (color: white;) 

}
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 id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">

Hi Michael,

There is no need for the parenthesis around the color property. You can also drop this down to the next line to make it more readable.

You are also missing the opening and closing brackets for the media query.

It should look as follows:

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

@media (max-width: 1020px) {
     .main-header {
          background-color:tomato;
          color: white;
     }
}

Hope this helps, Shaun
