1,924 PointsDescendant selector problem
Hello
I am having problems with this question.
Create a descendant selector that targets the span inside the header element. Add a font-size property and set the value to 26px
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
header span {
font-size: 26px;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Lake Tahoe</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<header>
<span>Journey through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
<h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
</header>
<p>
Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span>breathtaking attractions</span> 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 class="main-content">
<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.

Otherwise, the code looks good.
