css visited links. I can't seem to move past this css question; even though it is easy. color: firebrick;

It is a simple question, but it won't move me forward. visited links get a class of a:visited.

style.css 
:visited {
  color: firebrick;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Pseudo-classes Challenge</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
      <h2>Journey Through the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Nevada_(U.S.)">Sierra Nevada Mountains</a></h2>
      <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Tahoe">Lake Tahoe</a> is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California">California</a>. 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>

You are missing the a in your a:visited. Also challenges like this usually want you to keep the code for all tasks.

a:link {
    color: darkorange;
}

a:visited {
    color: firebrick;
}
