Next, target the class main-heading. Give the heading a font-size property and set the value to 72px. ????? I'm really having a hard time trying to place this.

  <head>
    <header id="top">
    <span>Journey through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>

      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

      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.

You need to add the style inside the css file and the classes are slightly different. Its header and heading:

.main-header {
  background-color: orange;
}

.main-heading {
font-size:72px;
}
