In the HTML file, give the h1 element the class main-heading.

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>Journey through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>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.
    </p>
    <a href="#">Find out more</a>
    <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.
      </p>
      <a href="#">See the Wildlife</a>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>
style.css

Normally, I'm reluctant to give explicit spoilers, but this is almost exactly the same thing as you already did in task 1. For task 3, add the class to the h1 element on line 11 like this:

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

Once you get past that, task 4 will be a lot like task 2. And tasks 5 & 6 will be much like 1 & 2 and 3 & 4, but be sure to notice that they use the id property instead of the class.
