style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-header{
    background-image: linear-gradient(
        at bottom 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">
  </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">

The problem seems to be the 'at bottom top' line. Try just 'to top' instead.
