FYI for those more familiar with CSS...

For those of you that have some more experience with CSS, having a fixed background-attachment will not give you the "fade to white" at the bottom of the picture. I could not figure out why mine wasn't working until I commented out the fixed bg attachment.

.main-header {
  padding-top: 170px;
  height: 850px;
  background: linear-gradient(#ffa949, transparent 90%),
              linear-gradient(0deg, #fff, transparent),
              #ffa949 url('../img/mountains.jpg') no-repeat center;
  background-size: cover;
/*  background-attachment: fixed;*/

}
