New fire trail off Cowan trail?

I noticed today on Cowan trail it appears there is a new fire trail branching off to the west about two thirds of the way along.

Looks like it has been recently cut in, along with a few "layover" areas on the existing Cowan trail. The ground is still covered in grassy vegetation, but I didn't see any other evidence of vegetation removal such as tree stumps and the like.

i didn't explore the full length as I was with other riders, but I saw pink ribbon markers going a little way further ahead.

Does anyone know anything about this new trail section?
