      <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.

      <a href="#">See the Wildlife</a>

You're on the right track, just remember to separate your html from your css for this challenge.

<header class="main-header"> <!-- Nice job! -->

<!-- For this step, adding a class to this html should look more like what you did above. -->
 <!-- No CSS here, set the font size in the other file. -->
<h1 .main-heading {
    font-size: 72 px; 
    }
>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>

.main-header { /* Perfect! */
  background-color: orange;
}

.main-heading { /* Try putting the code you wrote in the HTML above in the CSS file instead. */
  font-size: 72 px; /* Otherwise, it looks good! */
}

Pretty much all of your code looks good, so if you untangle it back out you should pass with flying colors. Let us know if you run into any trouble, though. Happy coding!

Hi Briona,

In your html <h1> tag you included the css declaration. The declaration should either appear in a separate stylesheet or in within the <head> element in between <style> tags. You could also do it with the style attribute.

<head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
    <style>
        .main-heading {
            font-size: 72 px;
        }
     </style>
  </head>

After this, just add the class '.main-heading to your h1 element.

 <h1  class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>

This should do it. If not, just let me know and I'll give it another go! Cheers,

Daniel
