This task will not accept my code as being correct, but it looks perfectly fine to me. Trying to target the h1 element.

.main-header { background-color: orange; font-size: 72px; }

I am trying to change the font size, funny thing is in the preview the fon't is actually bigger but for whatever reason when i go on check work it is like nah sorry "bummer".

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 class="main-header">
      <span>Journey through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading"> Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <p>
      Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions 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.

    <div>
      <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.

Hi there, Eliot! You were doing just fine right up until Step 4. Step 4 asks you to target the main-heading class. Note that this is distinct from the main-header class. You are then to set the main-heading class to 72px. Instead, you've set the main-header class to 72px.

Only the text within the <h1> element should be 72px.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
