How I do this?

Finally, add the value that sets the gradient direction from bottom to top.

My answer was: .main-header { background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom at top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%); } I am not able to code the way correct of direction gradient. Thanks for you support!

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-header {
           background-image: linear-gradient(bottom top,steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);
}
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">

        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>
</html>

If you want to create a gradient from bottom to top you just pass "to top" as a parameter

.main-header { 
  background-image: linear-gradient(to top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);
}

Hope this helps
