Front End Web Dev - Designing w/ Latest Features - Inner and Outer Shadows in the same box shadow - this was not taught

The student is required to put both and inner and outer box shadow. This was not taught, so I am using trial and error to determine precisely how to do this. Not fun.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-heading {
 text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31; 
}

.title {
 text-shadow: 1px 3px 0 #e59740; 
}

.main-header {
 box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, 0 0 60px 5px firebrick; 
 /* box-shadow: 0 0 60px 5px firebrick; /* inner shadow */
}
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">
                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 class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->

        <footer class="main-footer">
            <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
            <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
        </footer>
  </body>
