CSS CSS Basics (2014) Enhancing the Design With CSS Media Queries

I set the font-size to 1.4rem, as instructed by the challenge on media queries. It tells me the font value isn't right.

I can't figure out what is wrong with the code. I have put everything in as instructed, tried removing spaces and retrying it. Nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me find the mistake?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
@media (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header {
    background: tomato;
    color: white;


}

  @media (max-width: 768px) {
    .title {
      font-size: 1.4rem;
    }
    .h1 {
      font-size: 5rem;
    }
  }
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.

It appears you did not close your first media query before you started your second one.

I"ve tried everything and I still cant find the error. Can you show me? I've tried to make sure everything is closed etc, but it keeps telling me the value of the font is wrong. =(

Sure...here is the error

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
@media (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header {
    background: tomato;
    color: white;
  } /*This closing curly brace for the .main-header class was omitted */

}

  @media (max-width: 768px) {
    .title {
      font-size: 1.4rem;
    }
    .h1 {
      font-size: 5rem;
    }
  }

@media (max-width: 1020px) { .main-header { background: tomato; color: white; } }

@media (max-width: 768px) { .title { font-size: 1.4rem; }

.h1 { font-size: 5rem; } }

I typed this in and it allowed me to pass The difference was you don't need .h1. h1 isn't a class

@media (max-width: 768px) {
   .title {
     font-size: 1.4rem;
   }
   h1 {
     font-size: 5rem;
   }
}

If it's still not working, maybe reload the challenge.
