      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.

      <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.

    <h3>From Tents to Resorts</h3>

    Lake Tahoe is full of wonderful places to stay. You have the ability to sleep in the outdoors in a tent, or relax like a king at a five star resort. Here are our top three resorts:

You said you used "a:visited" (which is correct) but the code doesn't show the "a" part.

But it's also necessary to observe the part of the instructions that say: "Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task."

So the code you wrote for task 1 should remain there when you add the task 2 code after it.
