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

.main-header {
  background-image: linear-gradient(to top, steelblue , darkslateblue 90%);
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

In your code the space that is after steelblue is causing the error.
