            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.

      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 <a href="#mink">mink</a>, <a href="#bears">bears</a>, and <a href="#eagles">bald eagles</a>.

    <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:

    <h3>Pack Accordingly</h3>

      One of most important things when it comes to traveling through the great outdoors is packing accordingly. Here are a few tips:

      <li>Bring layers of clothing</li>
      <li>Pack sunscreen</li>
      <li>Carry extra water just in case</li>

In your css, you call out the the class arrow but I'm not seeing it in your html. Try this and see if it works:

<img src="img/arrow.svg" alt="Down arrow" class="arrow">
