Using a lightbox like ColorBox or jQuery Lightbox Plugin how can i make a single link which opens a gallery / array of images?

For example i have 1 thumbnail and when a user clicks it i want it to open multiple pictures in the lightbox so the user can click next or previous to view all the pictures within that gallery.

My thinking was that i just do it as normal 1 link to 1 picture then use jquery to hide all but the first link. There must be a better way?

Thanks.
